TWIGGY

Product catalog summary

Overview

The document presents the design concept and features of the Twiggy lamp, created by Marc Sadler. It highlights the innovative use of simple, natural inspirations—specifically a fishing rod—to develop a light, flexible arc lamp that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Design Inspiration and Concept

Marc Sadler is described as a genius in finding simple yet unimaginable solutions. The Twiggy lamp’s design is inspired by the structure of a fishing rod, which is lightweight, flexible, and composed of linear sections. This modular approach allows the lamp to be disassembled into compact parts and reassembled into a harmonious curved shape.

Structural Specifications

  • Sections: The lamp stand consists of linear sections similar to those of a fishing rod or a camping tent support.
  • Assembly: When disassembled, the lamp occupies minimal space; when assembled, it curves harmoniously.
  • Height Adjustment: A simple counterweight system located above the diffuser allows height adjustment in 5 cm increments.
  • Base: The base is inspired by the image of a fishing rod planted in the ground—a simple, flat, lightweight disc that does not take up much space. Initially made of solid metal, it has evolved to be easily inserted anywhere, including under tables, chairs, or carpets.

Aesthetic and Functional Characteristics

  • The Twiggy lamp is a slender, natural element in space, characterized by its finesse and ability to harmonize with strong colors and various environments and tastes.
  • Its lightness allows it to stand out even against bold colors, making it versatile for different interior designs.

Summary of Key Features

  • Modular, linear section design inspired by fishing rods.
  • Compact and easy to assemble/disassemble.
  • Adjustable height via counterweight system with 5 cm increments.
  • Minimalist, flat base inspired by a fishing rod planted in the ground.
  • Lightweight and flexible arc lamp design.
  • Versatile aesthetic that complements various interior styles and colors.

– Marc es un genio cuando se trata de encontrar soluciones sencillas e impensables al mismo tiempo. Tome como ejemplo Twiggy, una lámpara de arco ligera y flexible. Un día Marc nos ha visitado y nos enseñado una cosa muy interesante: una caña de pescar. – Marc ist ein Genie, wenn es darum geht, einfache jedoch unvorstellbare Lösungen zu finden. Nehmen wir Twiggy als Beispiel: Eine leichte und flexible Bogenleuchte. Eines Tages kam er zu uns in den Betrieb und zeigte uns etwas sehr Interessantes: Eine Angel. – Lorsqu’il s’agit de trouver des solutions à la fois simples et impensables, Marc est...

– Der Lampenständer der Twiggy besteht aus linearen Sektionen, genauso wie eine Angel oder die Stütze eines Camping-Zelts. Auseinander gebaut, nimmt er sehr wenig Platz ein. Sobald man ihn zusammenbaut, nimmt er seine harmonische Biegung an. Ein simples System von Gegengewichten, die sich an der dafür vorgesehenen Stelle oberhalb des Diffusors befinden, ermöglicht die Höheneinstellung in Abständen von 5 cm. – La tige de Twiggy est composée de sections linéaires comme celles d’une canne à pêche ou de l'arceau d’une tente de camping. Quand elle est démontée, elle occupe très peu de place. Une fois...

– El asta de Twiggy está formada por secciones lineares, precisamente como una caña de pescar o el apoyo de una tienda de camping. Cuando está desmontada ocupa muy poco espacio, cuando está montada se arquea armoniosamente. Un elemental sistema de contrapesos, situados en la sede que se encuentra encima del difusor, permite regular su altura a intervalos de 5 cm.

– También la base de Twiggy se inspira en la imagen de una caña de pescar clavada en el terreno. Un sencillo disco plano, ligero y poco voluminoso. Al inicio del proyecto era un macizo cuerpo metálico. En cambio, de esta forma, se puede introducir fácilmente en cualquier parte, incluso debajo de un mesa, un asiento o un tapete. – Auch die Basis von Twiggy erinnert an eine im Boden verankerte Angel. Eine einfache, flache Scheibe, die weder schwer noch platzraubend ist. Zu Beginn des Projektentwurfs war sie hingegen ein plumpes Metallbauteil. So hingegen kann man sie leicht überall hinstellen,...

– Twiggy es un signo fino y natural en el espacio que, justamente gracias a su delgadez, puede caracterizarse con colores fuertes, armonizándose con todo tipo de ambientes y gustos. – Twiggy ist ein zartes und natürliches Element im Raum, das gerade aufgrund seiner Feinheit auch durch kräftige Farben in den Vordergrund gestellt und harmonisch in jeden Wohnraum und nach jedem Geschmack eingefügt werden kann. – Twiggy est une trace mince et naturelle dans l’espace qui grâce à sa légèreté peut ressortir même sur des couleurs fortes, en s’harmonisant avec chaque espace et chaque goût.

– Twiggy is a slender, natural symbol in space and thanks to this slender nature it can be marked with strong colours, to harmonise with any kind of environment or taste. – Twiggy è un segno sottile e naturale nello spazio, che proprio grazie alla sua esilità può essere contraddistinto anche da colorazioni forti, armonizzandosi con ogni ambiente e gusto.
